Haha, thanks. He looks like Michelin Man crossed with Jabba the Hut... only cute. My family has a history of big, chunky babies, and I guess my boobs (normally a B cup) really know when to kick into gear. But my back is KILLING ME.

Read the recap, and instantly thought: “Has to be Trampa.”

I know. It’s very, very bizarre.

Spare the people posting baby pictures. For everyone rolling their eyes, there are 5 other people demanding that parent post more. Besides, what’s more benign than some pictures of babies/kids?

I have a 2-month old (who happens to be ENORMOUS—17 lbs), and yesterday I was looking at him like, “Shit, man. Except for one cell from your dad, everything you are made of came from me. I MADE YOU.” I think it was sleep-deprivation at work, but it was a very meta moment.

Thanks! I have a Sephora certificate burning a hole in my pocket, so I'll check out his products. :)

Brandi - loving Millihelen, and these posts have me re-considering a box subscription when we go back to two incomes in a couple of months. (WOO-HOO!)

“I’m such a newbie at this. I always really hate it when actors or people in the spotlight make giant grandiose statements about parenthood because it’s so, so personal,” she explained in a new interview with the Australian Daily Telegraph. “I don’t profess to know anything more about parenting than anybody else.”

Oh, and the same boss who gave the awful toast totally flipped out when I told him I was pregnant with my first, and repeatedly grilled me about whether or not I was “really” coming back to work afterward. This, despite having two kids and a wife who works.

I worked for years in a media start-up focused on technology. In the office, it was crude sexual jokes told by our boss in front of everyone. I remember being mortified once when at a bar for a company-sponsored event (fairly early in the evening, too), he stood on a bar stool and loudly gave the “to honor” toast.…

As we left the maternity ward, our nurse asked us if I could wait a minute and pulled another nurse over to see our baby because, “He’s SO cute... do you mind?” I laughed and told her it was one of the better compliments I’d ever received, considering the source.

I grew up in a school where you were either smart or cool/attractive. As a very good student, I always fell squarely into the former category. I thought I looked ok, but I had a lot of normal teenage hang-up's about my looks, and just assumed that I wasn't that hot.

I believe my exact quote upon seeing the positive test was, "FUUUUUUUUUCK..."

Hah, I was feeling guilty that my second thought (after, "good on her for putting her experience out there in a matter-of-fact way,") was that the tabloids would be losing one of their go-to stories. Who and what shall replace it? J Anniston as the surprise surrogate?

I'm due with my second in 3 days, and this makes me roll my eyes so hard I may tip over.

I bought a knock-off dress for my wedding, and ended up really pleased with it. It was "inspired" by a David Hjelm lace dress. I read lots of reviews, contacted past customers, got photos of their actual dresses, communicated with the vendor and even paid a small fee to get samples of the materials sent to me. It…

So when I check into the hospital to deliver (any freaking day now), I'll just hand my phone with this app to the doctors and be like, "Yo, this is my birth plan. That baby'd better glow and I'd better be smiling." Right?

It's true—pregnancy significantly increases a woman's the victim of a violent crime. I'm currently 8 months pregnant myself, and this (along with back pain, exhaustion and waddling) has pretty well convinced me to hibernate for the duration.

Yowza! She looks fabulous. Great style and color, particularly at the holidays.

Just give them chocolate! It solves everything.
